What if one day the internet ceased to exist? In a society that is becoming increasingly dependent on the internet and affiliated technologies, such a scenario may seem like the end of the world. Imagine people without their smartphones, tablets, or computers. With a remarkable lack of face to face interaction and landline phones, communication would plummet to an all-time low. Millions of people would be out of jobs, and millions more would not know how to get to theirs. Many would lose access…

Notice a majority ($66.4 Billion) was spent on TV advertising. The average length of a TV announcement is 30 seconds. How effective are these advertisements if the average attention span of an American is 8 seconds (the average attention span of a goldfish is 9 seconds)(Weinreich, Obendorf, Herder, & Mayer, 2008).

Often, people live in uncertainty, keeping themselves from discovering outside-the-box ideas and never straying from the well-exercised path. Perhaps they make decisions based upon a direct idea of fate they may feel forced to follow or they simply fear the consequences, crippling any deep success in personal enlightenment.

As human beings, just like other living organisms, our wellbeing is dependent on many factors. One measure of wellbeing is one’s length of life. Furthermore, and probably a more important point is the quality of that life. If we were to look at the average age in the 19th Century, it did not exceed 50 years. Whereas in today’s developed countries it has surpassed 80 years. However, there still exists in parts of the world where a great deal of population die at a much younger age. This is mostly…

"I'm Morgan Perry, and I'm looking for cabin 8? I'm a late arrival." I smiled at her. "I'm Rochelle Myers," I said. "So you're in cabin 8, too?" We talked as I showed her our cabin. I came to know Morgan Perry, a girl with a younger brother and a goldfish, a girl who desperately wanted to be an architect, a girl who had held a live rattlesnake. A girl with big dreams and hopes for the future. We were instant friends. And from that moment on, I was never lonely at Camp…

I can tell that Natalie and I are growing apart so when she randomly invited me to her house I accepted as she’s the only friend whose house I’m allowed to go to. When I step in I’m greeted by her mother who has the most beautiful brown skin I’ve ever seen, she’s practically glowing, her long curly black hair with soft brown undertones that glistens in the sun, she wore all white and matched her red kitten heels with her lipstick. Her room is almost identical to a princess palace and I can’t…

A young boy at the age of 11 with pale skin and freckles was frolicking in his neighborhood park about a block away from his house. He wore his favorite pair of blue jean overalls with a yellow and olive striped shirt underneath. He loved being outside and spent most of his time at his neighborhood park. His normal routine after he got off the bus from school was to go home, eat a snack of some sort, change into his play…
